First prize in Lucky draw

Today is an eventful day for Jojo.

Early in the morning, we went to Youth park for a walk and Jojo get to play in the park on the slide and swing etc..then we took a small break - with delicious ice cream :) hmm..yummy!!

After that we dropped by Park Royal hotel cafeteria for a yummy seafood buffet. The food was delicious, we had a good time there. They even had a clown distributing ballons for kids and all little kids got to participate in lucky draw for the day. So daddy helped submitted Jojo's. It was the first time Jojo entered a lucky draw and you were so lucky to get the 1st prize!!!! It was a toy'r'us rm30 voucher.

Wow, mummy really happy for Jojo, especially mummy never has any luck in such event :p

Furthermore we didnt plan this lunch but it just happenned for a reason - I guess it's was meant to be ojo's lucky day :D haha..

I miss you, Jojo

After 2 weeks in Shanghai, I came back home amazed by how different Jojo has been since I last seen him.

1. He grew taller & more handsome :)
2. can now consistently call out the family members like ah kong, ah ma, ah por, mama and nana (mean milk) etc...love milk & willing to hold the milk botol himself


3. request for 'junk' food and say 'mai mai' (mean no) to food he doesnt want


4. drinking from straw. I know some babies can do it from 6 months onward but not Jojo. So it's a great milestone for him as this means he does not have to drink from the botol anymore. I let him try when we went for breakfast on the wednesday morning(Thaipusam's holiday) and he managed to suck the drink using a straw:)

I missed out lots of Jojo's fun moments and mommy really miss you baby!

A day in class

We went for a trial class in learning garden. I think the place was quite nice as they provided a number of activities for the kids to explore and learn during the process.

But most importantly, for me is to get Jojo to interact with other children to help him open up. Currently he is quite resentful of strangers which I think it's good to a certain degree. However I would him to be socialable and making friend with other will definitely helps...

Also it's an oppurtunity for us (parent) to play with him. During the session, we can see Jojo enjoyed himself especially at the playground :D

Walking unaided

Monday 22-Oct-2007. I need to remember this day.

Reason : When I was home from work today, it was to my surprise to see Jojo was able to walk unaided all the way starting from the coffee table at the hall infront, to the last room behide, next to kitchen. In fact, I counted his steps - 80 more steps at ONE GO...wow! he really did not hold on to anything all the way, of coz the steps were slow and small. But yesterday he was just taking like 20+ steps top only. My hubby was amazed too, his comment : "how come suddenly Jojo can walk already??!!"

I am not sure if other parents shared the same experience, but to us it was like suddenly our baby just grown up 'so fast' and begin wallking instead of the usual crawling he does. And we were still cannot believe it happaned over a night..

Looks like very soon we will start the chasing game...:p time to get fit, haha

A gift - pocket book

This was a wonderful gift from "parenthood" magazine to Jojo for being selected in the happy baby photo corner.

It was a handy pocket size photo book sponsored by Pixart (http://www.pixart.com/)

First you just need to download a software and then you can start uploading photo into the program and choose the setting layout. Lastly just send to pixart as a PO and waola...about 5 days later, the photo book is in my hand.

I have choosen Jojo's photo from his birth till 11 months old coz those are the latest pictures I have at that time. I received the notification in August but only start working on it in Sept. Anyway, it serves as a handy album on Jojo's first year which I can easily carry everywhere since the size is so portable.

I think this is the better gift compare to the usual diapers given away. I just love it :)

Peeking through mirror

Jojo having fun peeking through the mirror to look at people. Whenever his vision meet with yours, then he will start giggling away....

In fact, Jojo really loves looking in mirror. Not just he babbling to himself, he likes to wave at people through mirror.

When he cries, it's a sure & immediate 'cure' if you just bring him to a mirror...

But there was this old saying that you should not let a baby look at mirror or else the baby will not "speak" or have nightmare....hmm, wonder how true is it?

Catch you game

Jojo likes to walk around his playpen. Sometimes he plays hide and seek with us by peeping us at the side of the playpen. He will show his chicky face and walk away quickly laughing if we look at him and call him...

Everytime we say 'catch you catch you', Jojo will 'run away' surrounding his playpen. He even know to reverse direction when I try to 'chase' him :-)

And this is also Jojo's favorite game with his daddy, coz other than this daddy was not very good in other game with Jojo...haha :P
